Yuno has raised $45 million in Series B funding as the payments infrastructure fintech looks to accelerate international expansion, develop its agentic AI strategy, and move toward profitability. The round was led by Global PayTech Ventures and backed by investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, QuantumLight Capital, Monashees, Kaszek, and Endeavor Catalyst.

Regional investors Rasmal Ventures, GrowthX Capital, and UAE-based Further Ventures also participated, reflecting Yuno’s growing focus on Gulf markets. The new round brings the company’s total funding to $80 million.

Building the Infrastructure Behind Global Payments

Founded in Colombia in 2022, Yuno provides a single API connecting businesses to payment methods, processors, and fraud detection services. The company says its infrastructure helped merchants recover more than $5 billion in otherwise-failed transaction volume over the past year.

The latest funding will support further technology investment, research and development, and international growth. Yuno CEO Juan Pablo Ortega also says the company has a clear path to profitability in the year ahead.

From Payment Orchestration to Agentic AI

A major part of Yuno’s next phase is its move into agentic AI. The company launched Payments Concierge in April, allowing merchants to interact with its payment infrastructure using natural-language instructions.

Yuno is also developing agents designed to optimise payment routing and identify transaction failures before they affect revenue. The company sees another potential use case emerging as AI agents begin making purchases themselves, creating demand for payment infrastructure designed for machine-driven commerce.

Expanding Into the Gulf

Yuno is simultaneously strengthening its presence in Gulf markets. The company has partnered with Saudi Arabia-based Tap Payments, received PTSP authorisation through its local subsidiary, and integrated with Saudi financial services platform Tabby.

With a regional headquarters in Qatar and additional regional investor support, the Series B gives Yuno capital to pursue both its AI strategy and international expansion.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

Yuno’s latest raise shows how payment infrastructure is evolving alongside AI and new geographic opportunities. Key lessons include:

• Payment orchestration can become increasingly valuable as merchants operate across fragmented markets.
  
  
• Agentic AI could reshape how businesses manage complex payment infrastructure.
  
  
• International expansion requires local partnerships, regulatory capabilities, and market-specific infrastructure.

As global payments become more complex and increasingly automated, fintechs need a strategy that connects technology with the realities of each market. Contact us to explore how Your Fintech Story can support your fintech growth and expansion strategy.

Finley has raised $1.85 million in pre-seed funding to develop its AI-driven financial insights platform for middle-market businesses. The round was led by Cofounders Capital, with partner Tobias Walter joining Finley’s board of directors.

Founded in 2025 by Justin Norwood and Josh Pennington, the Wilmington, North Carolina-based fintech is building what it describes as a virtual CFO designed to help business leaders make better financial decisions without adding another layer of manual analysis.

Turning Financial Data Into Strategic Decisions

Finley focuses on areas including cash flow management, capital raising, and broader financial decision-making. Rather than simply presenting financial information, the platform is designed to help business leaders understand their financial position and use that information when making strategic decisions.

For middle-market companies, where financial teams may have significant responsibilities but fewer resources than large enterprises, AI-powered financial analysis could provide an additional layer of support.

Expanding the AI CFO Platform

Finley will use the new funding to accelerate product development and expand the platform to address financial needs across additional industry verticals.

The company is entering a growing market of fintech platforms using AI to bring financial analysis and advisory capabilities closer to businesses. Its focus on the middle market positions the product between traditional financial software and the more extensive finance teams typically available to larger companies.

Key takeaways for fintech startups

Finley’s early funding highlights the opportunity to apply AI to financial decision-making rather than simply automate administrative tasks. Key lessons include:

• AI can extend financial expertise to businesses with leaner finance teams.
  
• Financial insights become more valuable when connected directly to strategic decisions.
  
• Vertical expansion can provide a path for AI fintech platforms to broaden their addressable market.

As AI moves deeper into corporate finance, fintechs have an opportunity to turn complex financial data into practical decision-making tools. Contact us to explore how Your Fintech Story can support your fintech strategy and growth.
